Tennis shoes have been given a lot of love lately and who's to complain if they keep looking as good as they do? The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cortez-sneaker-model) Sportswear Air Zoom Tennis Classic are the latest pair that's caught my eye.

Subtle, simple and minimalist are what defines the attractive nature of the Nike Sportswear Air Zoom Tennis Classic. I love the crisp, clean design with simple tones. The [use of leather for the upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82) is always a welcoming feature that's hard to dislike and say no to. If you look closer into the sneaker, you'll see that there are perforated patterns which include the swoosh itself. The [white soles with the green trims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-vomero-5-6) are nice little details that elevates the attractiveness of the footwear.
